Miami Part II

A few more memories from our 2012 vacation to record.  On our last day of vacation, Christmas Eve, we spent the morning on the beach and then drove to the SeaAquarium in Miami.  Oliver was pretty tired by this point so we just hit the highlights.  He still talks about the dolphins that did "somersault tricks" and remembers that the turtles ate leaves.  He was equally happy to be at the airport and ride the plane back home.  When we got home that night around midnight, he was so happy to be home and see all his toys and books that he stayed up for an hour playing with them before finally falling asleep.  Oliver has a great memory and still talks about flying to Key Largo, how the ocean was cold (burr!), the buses and fishing at the Miami museum (and how there were no mice there), bee on mommy's boob, and other little memories he has from the trip.
Oliver loved all the different fish and wanted to get up close to see them.
Pink, pink!  He was pretty impressed with the "pink" birds.
His favorite toy/BFF is "Myrtle" the turtle who goes everywhere with him, so seeing a real turtle eating leaves was a highlight of the day.
More fish.

We watched them feed fish to the nurse sharks.
Oliver was amazed by the dolphins and whales.  This was his expression for the whole show.  Until the end when he just kept saying, "again, again?"

  1. I'm cracking up at Oliver's reaction to the Sea World show. Aidric had just turned 2 when we went to Sea World and he SCREAMED during Shamu show. Hated every second of it. So glad Oliver did not share those feelings :)
